ci = confidence interval.

ε is a residual error term;

FK is the parameter that describes the contribution of ketamine to total effect;

FN* is the fraction of FK that describes the contribution of norketamine to total effect;

ν2 is interoccasion variability (in the log-domain);

θ is the typical parameter value;

t½ke0 is the blood-effects-site equilibration half-life;

Y0 is baseline value;

ω2 is the between-subject variability (in the log-domain).

*

no hysteresis between blood-concentration and effect observed.
